Chapter 1380

The yellow sand ground of the Gobi desert was not easy to walk on.

In places with more yellow sand, every step left a footprint.

Sometimes, both feet would sink directly into the sand up to the ankles.

Traveling in such an environment was certainly not comfortable.

There was no need to elaborate on the details; only those who had walked it knew the hardship.

Fortunately, there was no quicksand in this yellow sand ground; otherwise, it would have been even more dangerous.

The surroundings were desolate, with nothing but some weeds.

Two hours later.

The terrain had completely changed.

It was filled with Gobi gravel everywhere, forming a mountain-like terrain.

Appearing before the three was a dangerous place—a "Thread of Sky."

Why call it a "Thread of Sky"?

Because the terrain here was truly too unique.

Surrounded by Gobi rock mountains, the middle looked as if it had been split open by a sword.

A crevice ran through the entire Gobi, looking like a thread of sky.

Only this crevice could lead to the front.

All other places were blocked by the Gobi.

This crevice was not wide, about enough for two imperial carriages to pass side by side.

Trying to climb over those Gobi mountains was not that simple.

The Gobi stone mountains were not high, but they were very steep.

There were many such rocks around, in groups and patches.

Forming a dangerous place that was easy to defend and hard to attack.

If someone were guarding here, it would certainly be a case of one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand unable to open it.

There were still many weeds and yellow sand around, and not even an animal was seen.

It showed how desolate this place was.

"Could it be that we came to the wrong place?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at this Gobi and was somewhat speechless.

He had seen this Gobi through the telescope earlier.

After walking for so long, they finally arrived here.

But there was not a single shadow of a person here.

Originally, he thought Meng Tian and the others would be building Yumen Pass here.

Who would have known there was nothing here; it was truly a miscalculation.

Ying Zheng and the other were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing this.

What did he mean by coming to the wrong place?

They had walked for two hours.

They were already somewhat thirsty and impatient.

The result was that the answer they heard was that they had gone to the wrong place.

How could they bear this?

Was it all for nothing?

There was indeed not even half a shadow of a person here.

Perhaps they really had come to the wrong place.

But since things had reached this point, what else could Ying Zheng say?

Wanting to blame him a few times would be of no use, so he could only let it go.

"Your Highness, how about we withdraw first?"

"We have been here for quite a while."

"This general sees that His Majesty is also a bit thirsty."

"This time we came in a hurry and didn't bring any food or drink."

"Why not go back first and make plans later?"

Zhang Han dared not blame the Prince for leading them the wrong way.

He could only speak tactfully; it didn't matter if they couldn't find anyone.

They could still go back; they wouldn't get lost here.

"Ying Zi Ye, why not go back first?"

"We have been out for quite a while."

"I am also a bit thirsty."

Ying Zheng also spoke from the side.

He could not say words of blame either.

After all, this was the first time experiencing this portal.

No one could predict what would happen.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the Gobi and did not reply.

Seeing Ying Ying Zi Ye not speaking, Ying Zheng thought he was blaming himself.

He could not help but continue speaking, wanting to persuade him.

"Occasional mistakes are unavoidable; Ying Zi Ye, you don't need to blame yourself."

"Once we go back and prepare some dry rations and water, we can just come back again."

Zhang Han also persuaded him from the side.

Both of them thought Ying Ying Zi Ye was blaming himself.

"Father Emperor, we didn't come to the wrong place."

Ying Ying Zi Ye suddenly spoke, and the two were stunned upon hearing this.

This was still called not coming to the wrong place?

There was not a single shadow of a person around here.

If they had come to the right place, how could there be no one around?

One had to know that Great Qin had an army of three hundred thousand stationed here.

Zhang Han was speechless.

He thought the Prince was going to be competitive.

It would be good to take the opportunity to teach him a little.

"Your Highness, stop fooling around; there isn't even a shadow of a person here."

"If we didn't come to the wrong place..."

But Zhang Han stopped his words before he could finish.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the "Thread of Sky."

Because many footsteps were coming from that direction.

As a martial artist, his hearing was different from ordinary people.

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled and did not speak.

He had already heard the footsteps, which was why he was certain they hadn't come to the wrong place.

However, one could also say they had come to the wrong place.

Because their location was on the Western Regions side.

While Meng Tian and the others were on the Great Qin side, which was why they couldn't see them.

Because they were separated by this Gobi stone mountain in the middle.

With their line of sight blocked by the Gobi, of course, they couldn't see anyone.

It was only after a large number of soldiers approached that Ying Ying Zi Ye heard the movement.

It was estimated that there were hidden sentries here, which was why someone discovered their appearance.

That was why they rushed over, so they hadn't come to the wrong place. ===== CHAPTER 1382 =====
